This elegant, three-bay, two-storey residence, dating from approximately the 1920s, extends to c.246m² (over c.2,600 ft2. excluding the garage) and offers a rare combination of period character, generous proportions and an enviable setting.

A charming pond with fountain creates an attractive focal point within the gardens, while a number of useful storage sheds and an attached garage of approximately 20m² provide excellent additional space.
One of the property’s most striking features is its outlook towards St Macartan’s Cathedral, whose iconic spire provides a distinctive and historic backdrop to the gardens and surrounding setting.
